摘要： This study intended to investigate the responses of glutathione (GSH) metabolism and calcium (Ca) secretion in mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaves under different levels of Pb contaminated soil and their correlations with leaf Pb ion accumulations. Using a greenhouse experiment, we measured the growth, Pb and calcium contents, glutathione metabolism, and leaf morphology traits of mulberry seedlings under four soil Pb levels. Mulberry exhibited a considerable adaptability to soil Pb, and no significant decrease in biomass was observed across the various soil Pb treatments. The glutathione metabolism of mulberry was related to the soil Pb, and the relative expression level of the glutathione synthetase gene was sensitive to the presence of Pb ions. The Pb ions absorbed by mulberry accumulated primarily in the roots, and only under heavy Pb concentrations (800 mg kg(-1)) would Pb ions be significantly transferred to leaves. The cystoliths excreted from leaves might not play a role in the detoxification of Pb; however, soil resident Pb affected cystolith development patterns and associated calcium regulation. Calcium oxalate crystals may directly participate in the Pb detoxification process in leaves, particularly under severe soil Pb stress. Under extreme soil Pb treatments, the mulberry leaves thickened, while epidermal cells and veins increased to facilitate the transport of Pb ions to the aerial organs. Mulberry can acclimatize to severely Pb-contaminated soil by enhancing glutathione metabolism, adjusting leaf morphologies, and enhancing calcium oxalate crystal excretion. The excretion of Pb-Ca oxalate complexes might serve as detoxification for Pb-contaminated soils.
